Chinese Quince (Pseudocydonia Sinensis) カリン（花梨）

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

The Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis) is native to China but now can be found across Japan. The plant is known for the fruits but enjoyable throughout the year. Its pink flowers are pretty, jam made from the fruits is yummy, and the autumn leaves are so colorfully beautiful.

Two Quinces 木瓜と花梨

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are all Chinese quinces. The green ones are fruits of Chaenomeles speciosa and the yellow ones are Pseudocydonia sinensis. Both are in the Rosaceae family but they're different plants and so is the hardness of their peel. The yellow one's peel (Pseudocydonia sinensis) is harder than the green one's (Chaenomeles speciosa) although jam made from Pseudocydonia sinensis and Chaenomeles speciosa is both "sour" sweet that some find it not sweet enough and a little astringent.
